If you can get to an aviation museum that lets you inside a fighter plane cockpit the variety of buttons and levers is a real delight. Because they’re designed for a pilot who might be flying supersonic inverted with a Russkie on his 6 every single switch is of a slightly different position or type so they can be distinguished by feel. Dieter Rams would barf but the functionality is perfect.

Also, sitting in a fighter plane cockpit will make you realize how cramped and uncomfortable it is. Not nearly as glamorous as the movies make it seem.

That's reminds me of a description of the interior of a Pagani Huayra being like a "Victorian fighter jet":

Huh? Dieter Rams would be fine with traditional aircraft cockpit controls. His work was strongly supportive of the notion that form should follow function.

But Luigi Colani certainly would certainly barf a lot.

Yeah, I don't think that Korova Milk Bar motif of his would play well at the Pentagon.
